Another former teammate of his in Iman Shumpert sounded off on the comments made by Irving and the beef between Irving and James via <a href="https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1316462777389719554?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Complex Sports</a>:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"People are going to forever think they're (Kyrie and LeBron) taking shots at each other… it's sad." <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/imanshumpert?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@imanshumpert</a> explains what Kyrie meant by his last shot comments. </p><p>EPISODE: <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/gq3yj65s1U">https://t.co/gq3yj65s1U</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/1FIfLvTUf6">pic.twitter.com/1FIfLvTUf6</a></p><p>— Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ComplexSports/status/1316462777389719554?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>During the 2016 NBA Finals, playing alongside James, Kyrie Irving scored the go-ahead basket for the Cavaliers in Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors.

We not gonna violate, though. We not gonna violate him. We gonna beat em, we just not gonna violate him,” Shumpert said.</blockquote><p>Shumpert’s take lost a little steam when his solution to which Cavaliers big man would guard Anthony Davis was “Mozzy,” as in Timofey Mozgov.</p><p>However, he did make one extremely amusing case as to what truly gives the 2016 Cavs the edge in this make-believe matchup (and some constructive criticism for the Lakers coaching staff).</p><blockquote>“We had the real J.R. Swish,” Shumpert pointed out about J.R. Smith, who was a member of both teams. “They don’t wanna use him now, I get it. He’s older and he had spent one year out of the league, I totally understand … but we not gonna act like J.R Smith ain’t J.R. Smith.”</blockquote><p>Cleveland went 57-25 in the 2015-16 regular season, then epically erased a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals to defeat the 73-win Golden State Warriors. Shumpert averaged 5.8 points per game in 54 games for the Cavs,and played a key role as a wing defender in the Finals.</p><p>Those Cavs had the fourth-best net rating in the league (6.3), a better figure than the 2019-20 Lakers (5.6). James led L.A. to a 49-14 record before the bubble, then a 16-5 record in the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

Shumpert, a former NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers, is out there reminding everyone (especially the Rockets), that’s he an old reliable they can count on.</p><blockquote>“I’m 38 percent from 3 in the playoffs and the knock on me is that ‘Iman can’t shoot’?” Shumpert tweeted. “I’m around.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I’m 38 percent from 3 in the playoffs and the knock on me is that “Iman can’t shoot” <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/perceptioniseverything?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#perceptioniseverything</a> </p><p>I’m around.</p><p>— Iman.

His last team was the Brooklyn Nets which waived him late last year.</p><p>Though the Rockets shot okay in Game 4 from long-distance (42.4%), they needed a fourth guy to really step up, especially since the Lakers seem to have all the answers.</p><p>The usual contributors were virtually absent Thursday. Both PJ Tucker and Robert Covington were lacking in offensive productivity all game long for the Rockets.

In an interview with <a href="https://twitter.com/Stadium/status/1251658656841699328">Shams Charania</a> of The Athletic, Shumpert explained the infamous situation.</p><blockquote>“That particular day, me and T-Lue had just gotten into a little dispute. Basically, I wanted to abandon the gameplan, I wanted them (the Houston Rockets) to have to make an adjustment,” Shumpert said. “I was going to go start whatever I was going to do defensively on the scheme and I wanted T-Lue’s clearance.”</blockquote><p>That season, the 6-foot-5 combo guard was an important part of the Cavs’ title run. Playing 24.4 minutes per game, Shumpert put up 5.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game but shot just 37.4 percent from the floor and 29.5 percent from deep.</p><blockquote>“We spent the whole timeout, we argued, well not me and him but the team was trying to get an offenisve scheme together that I felt like ‘at the end of this scheme, something better change. And nothing changed. And when I had the towel I was just like ‘well, forget what I said and I sort of just leaned it on T-Lue.”</blockquote><blockquote>“What’s crazy is, I didn’t think anybody saw it. I spoke with him the next day and I was like ‘T-Lue, I didn’t realize it was a meme and everything.’ and you know, he laughed about it and said ‘yea whatever, I’m not running your iso to your right hand no more.'”</blockquote><p>The Cavs would go on to lose that game 106-100 with Shumpert pouring in 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-57567745-1', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The hardest thing to do is to continue to work without seeing the results you want yet. Stay consistent. The time will come. On chief
